Er, I'm confused by what you're saying:
The OMAP3430 is Cortex-A8 based. The announcement made by ARM was around an SMP core called Cortex-A9 and from what I can tell of the GP2X is that it is based around a dual ARM9 (which are an entirely different ARM architecture and are not designed as SMP).
Oh and the release schedule of the Cortex-A9 means that test silicon (not destined for consumer devices) is only likely mid to late 2008 so it is incredibly unlikely that there will be any consumer devices with those chips in before 2009.
